Teaching concept 

At Institute for Market-based Management ”Doing the right things“ and "Doing things right” are the secrets of successful management. This often means choosing from a multitude of possibilities with consequences only observable in the future. We offer the know-how for solving managerial decision problems in the area of market-based management by imparting specific knowledge (e.g. theories on consumer behavior, communication theory, decision theory) as well as by teaching how to apply quantitative methods and interpret the results.
